Rugged terrain cut by steep canyons makes much of this graticule hard to reach. The Ochoco Mountains are the main geographical feature, and nearly a third of the area falls inside the Ochoco National Rorest. Prineville, to the west, is by far the largest town, although the little seat of Wheeler County, Fossil, lies on the northern edge. The even smaller village of Mitchell is on U.S. Highway 26, which runs east to west across the graticule's middle.
